(The correct spelling is Schiavo.)
Your points about the autopsy are well-made. Exactly how many twelveth day death-by-dehydration have been reliably medically examined? Exactly how much does a brain diminish by the multiple starvations (three) Terri was forced to endure?
Despite the denials -- and its easy to be a denier, to admit murder by Judge is VERY threatening to the comfort of most, and people are VERY comfort-seeking. The truth uncomfortable rarely is seen when shadowed by a more comfortable option.
I think your take that it is the moral-discomfort of admitting some facts that is driving the sweep-Terri-under-the-rug phenomenon is dead on. Folks seem willing to fall for weak arguements when it suits their panic. Thanks for links.
